Welcome back lovelies!
I hope you all are having wonderful holiday's! Speaking of holiday's, that is what this blog will be about! I wanted to briefly discuss about our upcoming holiday themed cupcakes :) Let's dive in!
I knew back in November of 2020 that I wanted to bring something fun to 2021, holiday themed cupcakes. I figured what would be better since the new year was starting and holiday's would be starting over. I immediately started designing up the ideas for this year!
Starting with Valentine's Day, I really wanted to something with pink velvet. I tested my normal red velvet recipe but with pink dye instead...it turned out really good, but it was going to take so much pink food coloring that I wouldn't be able to make many batches and afford all the coloring while selling it at a reasonable price. I went with the next best thing I could think of to still have that festive pink color. I know just dying vanilla cake pink was simple, but I just loved the color it gave off. I decided to go with something smooth and decadent; pink vanilla cake, our famous cream cheese frosting, and festive heart sprinkles. They sold really well and I want to thank you all for all the great love and support!
On to St. Patrick's Day! My all time favorite limited time St. Patrick's Day treat was a shamrock shake from McDonald's! I needed, emphasis on needed, that as a cupcake in my life! I wanted a minty yet creamy tasting cupcake to represent that famous treat. I decided on vanilla cake dyed green, lightly minty vanilla buttercream, and festive green sprinkles on top! I made sure to make the frosting only slightly minty. I wanted you to taste it but also get the vanilla flavor to represent the milkshake. Plus no one needs a cupcake that is so strong of mint that it taste like toothpaste...I mean...nasty. I was really proud of how they turned out flavor and look wise! They tasted just like the nostalgic treat of my childhood!
For Easter I had so many ideas and it was hard to pick just one! I know that I could have released multiple but I wanted to save some so I can release them throughout the years. What I finally decided on was a cute little birds nest! I love the Cadbury chocolate eggs that come out for Easter, so I thought it would be so adorable to replicate a little birds nest with those eggs! I decided vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream grass piping, chocolate "nest" swirl, and topped with the chocolate eggs!
The following Holiday's are a surprise for when they come up ;) I hate to leave you guys on a cliff hanger but I don't want to ruin the surprise of what they will be! I will say this year, since it is the first year of me doing limited time Holiday cupcakes, they are simpler this year. I plan on next year they being a little more "gourmet" with fillings inside! I wanted to kind of test drive how well they would do this year. Each year will be different so keep an eye out for that! The Holiday cupcakes are sold just like the gourmet and/or seasonal ones for $25/dozen! As always I can do a variety dozen with 6 of one flavor and 6 of another, but it does cost extra.
I hope you all are as excited as I am for these! I've stated in previous blogs how much I love bringing you all new flavors and content so any excuse I can get to make a new cupcake I will take! If you have any suggestions then always feel free to let me know :) I would love to try and make any ideas you would have! I can't wait to see what the future holds for all the new flavors and ideas! Thank you all so much for your love and support in letting me be able to keep creating new flavors for you to enjoy with friends and family! Enjoy and I hope you are having a wonderful day! Talk to you next blog :)
